Lacey's Log

C couldn’t stand the cold, so we headed to Florida. We left on Christmas Eve and stayed at Camp Pedro RV Park at South of the Border, South Carolina. After driving by many, many, many times, C got a kick out of waking up there on Christmas Morning with the bonus of an iconic Waffle House breakfast.

I’m not exactly sure why we had to head back so fast, but that’s what happened. C was working on a project, so we stopped for a few days here and there and then spent some long hours on the road in between.

After exploring nature, C landed in the crazy world of Las Vegas, NV. She abandoned me behind the Flamingo while she stayed on the strip. We were both happy to see J when he flew in to travel back to the east coast with us. They had a good time celebrating N.O’M’s birthday and N.&M.O’M’s wedding anniversary by seeing Piff the Magic Dragon.

While diving at Bonneville Seabase, the dive master mentioned Sand Hollow State Park as another Utah dive site. I don’t know why the dive shop wasn’t open in early November, C had high hopes. Next time, maybe. Regardless, it was a scenic spot for a base camp while trekking into Zion.

The final Utah national park lived up to and exceeded expectations.

We were able to snag a site at the North Campground in Bryce Canyon National Park for a few days. A chilly and snowy forecast triggered us to leave a day earlier than originally planned.

Between Capital Reef and Bryce Canyon, we stopped for an overnight stay at Kodachrome Basin State Park. It was time for a shower and laundry.

We passed through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument on our way between Capitol Reef and Kodachrome.
